MITRE ATT&CK
T1566.001 Spearphishing Attachment T1204.002 Malicious File

The PDF file contains an embedded binary artifact, indicated by the 'PDF_EMBEDDED' heuristic and the 'EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE' finding. The 'CLAMAV_DETECTION' heuristic further confirms its malicious nature. The embedded file, named 'embedded_file_obj0001.bin', is the primary indicator of compromise, suggesting it's the payload.

Heuristics 4

  • ClamAV: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject critical CLAMAV_DETECTION
    ClamAV detected this file as malware: Heuristics.PDF.ObfuscatedNameObject
  • Embedded file low PDF_EMBEDDED
    PDF embeds a file attachment — could carry an executable or another weaponised document as a nested payload
  • XFA form low PDF_XFA
    PDF uses XML Forms Architecture — can contain script logic
  • Suspicious extracted artifact info EXTRACTED_FILE_STATIC_TRIAGE
    One or more files extracted from inside this sample matched static suspicious-content checks such as script obfuscation, encoded payload blobs, packed data, or execution/download terms.
